Had a cherry picker. Lost it in the tornado. It still worked but the brace was bent too much to be safe. I could buy one though. I will also end up changing the wheel bearings, hubs, fork oil and seals, brakes and tires. What else should I takle right away, bike has been sitting for about 6 years.

 

6 years is a long time to be sitting!

Are you going to replace all the rubbers/seals in the brake system? - that would be on a list of definites for me.

Also replace the coolant and carefully check all the radiator hoses.

Where is a good place online to find parts for our older bikes? In the US or free shipping to US

 

Quite a few of us use Partzilla Partzilla.com - OEM Powersports Parts from Honda, Kawasaki Polaris, Suzuki and Yamaha at discounts up to 80% off MSRP

Although sometimes it's worth hunting around when you know the part number - you can find good deals on other sites too. Brake discs and pads etc usually from Ebay.

Other members can feel free to chime in with their favourites.

Cheers, SB

 

Good to see another hurricane being saved. Never have done a motor swap on these types of bikes. By the way welcome to the forum. A lot of knowledge on this forum. You came to the right place for help. Cant wait to see your bike up and running. Good luck!!!

 

So I finally located the motor and it should be shipped soon. I have been calling shops around to see what it would cost if they did the work. Most of my qoutes have been around 750 USD. Seem right?
